If you want an easy, light, and delicious main dish, it doesn\u2019t get much better than salmon fillets! Whether it\u2019s a warm summer evening and you\u2019re looking to grill or you\u2019re craving beautifully seared salmon on a cold winter\u2019s night, it\u2019s perfect for any season and is delicious when cooked a variety of ways. Whether you choose to bake, air fry, grill, or pan-sear your delectable salmon fillets, tasty results are coming your way!<\/p>\n

Prepping Salmon <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Omaha Steaks offers several varieties of premium, high-quality salmon with incredible color and flavor. Our salmon fillets<\/a> are frozen the day of catch for maximum freshness, so it\u2019s important to thaw before cooking. There are two ways to thaw frozen salmon: in the refrigerator overnight or the quick-thaw method. To thaw in the refrigerator, remove product from original packaging, place in a resealable bag, and thaw in refrigerator for at least 7 hours. To thaw faster, remove product from original packaging, place in a resealable bag, and submerge bag in cold water for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Cook and consume within 2 days.<\/p>\n

Seasoning Salmon<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To season, pat thawed salmon with a paper towel and brush both sides with olive oil or melted butter. Season each fillet with your favorite seafood seasoning or try our Omaha Steaks Signature Seafood Seasoning<\/a>. For a flavor explosion, marinate your fillets with one of our easy seafood marinade recipes<\/a>. Skip the prep work and enjoy effortless cooking with one of our pre-marinated fillets, including Marinated Salmon Fillets<\/a> and Lemon Dill Salmon Fillets<\/a>.<\/p>\n
